  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
  • Welcome Guest to the Scout Registry!

    Our goal is to create the largest Scout Registry in the world. If you own a Scout vehicle, regardless of year or condition, we would love to see it.

    Just click on the "Add Vehicle" button and you can start the process. You can add a Title (your user name, model year, etc.), Brief Description (color name, model year, model) and a "Tell Us More About Your Scout:" where you can enter in your backstory, details about your Scout, modifications, restoration history, fun ownership stories and photos of your vehicle. You can also come back and modify or add to your registry entry at any time.

    Also, please upload photos if you have them. You can also embed the photos into your story that you create so that people can see larger versions.

    We look forward to seeing and hearing more about your Scout!

General Information

Blue Truck was named by my son (when he was 4yrs old) and came about cause I wanted to have a more unique truck. I was driving a 2010 Tundra and wanted to get something a bit smaller, but still capable. My first car was a 78 CJ-5 and while I love Jeeps I just couldn't justify having an old CJ as my main car. So after some time and energy spent researching options I decided ya know what i've never owned a scout before and there were kids I grew up with who had em and I always liked em. So let's get one of those. I bought Blue Truck sight unseen on ebay, it showed up with some rust on it, we've done some rust repair but only where necessary (for now).

Truck went under a massive drivability upgrade:
1. Rebuilt front and rear Dana 44's new everything inside the axle housing. ARB locker in the front, LSD in the rear.
2. New disk brakes all around
3. High steer kit from D and C Extreme
4. New 6L LQ9 Vortec Engine
5. New Custom built AX15 5sp trans
6. New NP 241 xfer case
7. Custom Exhaust
8. New wiring all around
9. Dakota Digital Gagues
10. New Carpet and Corbeau Seats with seat heaters
11. Roll Cage From D and C Extreme
12. Did a liftgate/tailgate conversion on it
13. Added Roof rack

Dude, I was just on Binder Planet going, "This should be on SMF(Scout Motors Forum)."

Thanks for putting it up, and for someone wanting a Traveler to redo, yours is one of the high standards to emulate.

Thanks for the kind words! :)

yeah I'm anxious for the new scout, as well as getting mine done.

I don't think mine should be any to emulate. I'm trying to do my best to cost effectively emulate this bad mama jamma https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/...international-scout-ii-traveler-custom/604768
